Double-Decker fun fold card with video tutorial and free project sheet

October 6, 2023

Here's the second card we made at my September card clubs. It's a 'Double-Decker' fun fold card.

It features the pretty All About Autumn specialty paper that is so popular it's been hard to keep in stock! It should be back around the middle of October. See it here.

ALL ABOUT AUTUMN 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

Save

For the circle die-cuts I chose to use both Stylish Shapes for the Vanilla circles and Deckled circle dies for the Early Espresso circle. The die-cuts in Vanilla & Copper Clay are from the Magical Meadow dies.

The greetings are from one of my favorite stamp sets in the Holiday catalog – So Sincere.

A double-decker card is where the center layer is popped up by a small box attached to the inside, back of the card like this.

Save

You need to adhere the back layer before adding this box. Then you top it with your center layer; for my version it's a piece of designer paper.

Save

I added a second circle to the inside designer paper layer for signing. But one of my smart customers thought of adding it to the back so it doesn't cover up any of the pretty paper. A great idea!

Happy Easter with a Floating Die-cuts Technique card

April 2, 2021
Our family gathers together for Easter most of the time; when we can that is.

We do jelly bean hunts with our granddaughter inside and an Easter Egg hunt outside weather permitting. What are your traditions for Easter?

I shared this card on last week's Facebook Live when I did Paper Strips Techniques. You can see it here.

Save

On this card I adhered strips or punched circles to our Acetate and then used the Oval Dies to cut them out. I had to run it through multiple times as our acetate is very thick. But it die work!

Other products used here:
- Word Wishes dies
- Layering Oval dies (So very sad these are retiring!)
- Friendly Silhouettes dies (Greenery; retiring & on sale $19.20)
- Tasteful Textile 3D folder
- Little Details embossing folders (retiring & on sale $3.20)

A beautiful scene with the ‘Here’s to You’ kit; a Paper Pumpkin alternate idea

April 1, 2021
The March Paper Pumpkin kit included stencils and a sponge in the kit so I had to play with creating a scene. It's one of my favorite techniques!

Save

One of the stencils has clouds in it. I used Pool Party ink and lightly sponged on the upper part of my White CS.

Then I sponged Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral ink about an inch and a half from the bottom edge. Now I stamped the trees image in the kit with Pretty Peacock ink. I did not reink the stamp each time so as I stamped repeatedly I achieved the appearance of a distant forest. Love this!!

The birds and greeting images also came in this kit.

This cute designer paper is retiring and not returning in the new Annual Catalog in May. It is full of bright colors and adorable patterns. I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch seen here.
